DAILY MANNA 



There are a number of popular booklets with daily 
Bible verses; but some new and very helpful features 
are to be found in this little volume. 

All of the most precious promises and most im- 
portant precepts in the Scriptures have been selected 
and classified under subjects; and the subjects ar- 
ranged in alphabetical order in ' ( DAILY MANNA. ' 9 

The most important words in each Scripture verse 
are emphasized by being printed in heavy type. 

An appropriate stanza of a familiar hymn has been 
selected for each day of the year; the hymn stanza 
always being on the same subject as the Bible verses 
for the day. The most comforting and familiar 
hymn stanzas are included in this volume. 

As the children of Israel were fed with manna 
from heaven day by day, it is hoped that the daily 
selections in this volume will be as spiritual manna 
to feed the souls of all who read them. 

God's Word is like the treasure hid, 

Or finest wheat in shock; 
'Tis manna from the skies above, 
And honey from the Eock. 

James Gilchrist Lawson.
